Crispy Roast Potatoes with Herby Tahini Dressing
Ingredients
1.2–1.5kg potatoes (Maris Piper ideal)

2–3 tbsp 'All Dressed Up' tahini and lime dressing (or 2 tbsp tahini mixed with juice 1 lime)
Garnish
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
1. Parboil the potatoes
Peel and chop the potatoes into medium-sized chunks. Add to a pot of salted boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes until parboiled and fork tender.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Add the potatoes along with olive oil and seasoning. Toss well.
Cook for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Transfer to a serving bowl, toss with fresh parsley and dill, then drizzle over the tahini dressing.
5. Serve and enjoy
Season to taste and serve immediately while crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these in the oven instead?
Yes — roast at 200°C for 40–50 minutes, turning halfway through.
Why do I need to parboil the potatoes?
This creates fluffy edges which crisp up much better when cooked.
Can I prepare these ahead of time?
You can parboil in advance, then air fry just before serving.
What dressing works best?
Tahini and lime is ideal, but yoghurt-based dressings also work well.
How do I keep them crispy?
Serve immediately — they’re best fresh out of the air fryer.
